IVF sceptic? Looking to hear from others with similar experiences.

What we have here is a failure to communicate...

I don't care how you dress it up - I take offence to having my broken body likened to a motor vehicle. Quite simply because I would probably be much easier to fix if I was one, or I would have been consigned to the scrap heap long ago. I am not only referring to my infertility here, but other chronic health problems that I have dealt with for many years.

Secondly, you seem unwilling to accept that not everyone shares your view of IVF doctors. Most of us that have responded have a very clear reason as to why we cannot conceive and that has been communicated to us at all stages of treatment, and we don't all use the same doctor nor even the same clinic. It is true, what Satya said, that you do get the rough end of the pineapple if you have "unexplained infertility", and there's just not a whole lot that anyone can do about that. I honestly believe that in time, some of the reasons behind "unexplained infertility" will be discovered and treatments will improve, but I also acknowledge that it won't be in time for many.

Nobody is arguing with your right to be angry, or to voice your opinion. People are merely getting upset with your refusal to see anything but your own side of things. As to a senate inquiry into IVF - I doubt it would happen, there's such a small sector of the community that accesses IVF services.

Personally, I think we would all be better off if you were to expend your energy in fighting some of the recent changes that are making IVF less accessible for so many people.
